i am too lazy to read this thread, but i think the marijuana idea is good for good or complicated music, and the drunk thing helps crap-rock seem more fun. how much fun is it to be drunk with your friends singing along to Georgia Satellites "keep your hands to yourself"? LOTS.
and for the uncorrupted youth on this board... drinking is not the same as getting drunk, occasional drug use probably isnt any more harmful than a lot of the other stuff we subject our bodies to along the way in the whole being human thing. people do so much stuff thats not healthy, and then they want to draw the line at getting a buzz? what-eva. beer is a friend.
